ORIGIN

This 1965 Morris Minor is a right-hand drive example which was acquired by the seller three years ago from the previous owner of 28 years who customized it extensively. Modifications included fitment of a Fiat 2-liter twin-cam four and rear axle, as well as a 5-speed manual gearbox, a front disc brake conversion, a customized interior, bucket seats, and more as detailed below. A service in 2017 included changing the engine oil, installing new spark plugs, ignition points, and an air filter. This Morris is now offered at no reserve with Ministry of Transport inspections back to 1985, and a clean South Carolina title in the seller’s name.

The body was repainted in teal with a modified hood and trunk lid. Both bumpers were color-matched, along with the side mouldings, and the side mirror was relocated to the door frame.

The interior was refurbished under previous ownership and features a pair of one-piece Cobra seats. The color-matched dashboard houses a large centered speedometer and a set of Yazaki gauges. According to the seller, the speedometer is functional, though operates erratically.

The odometer currently displays 7,901 miles, though true mileage is unknown. The seller has added approximately 500 miles during his three years of ownership.

The original drivetrain was removed in favor of a Fiat twin-cam four from an Argenta donor with a corresponding 5-speed manual gearbox and rear axle. The engine is fitted with a manual fan override and recent servicing included changing the spark plugs, ignition points, and engine oil. According to the seller, Ministry of Transport inspections from the previous owner will accompany the sale.

The Fiat rear axle is viewable in the photo above, while additional underbody photos can be seen in the gallery below.
